of spices.

categories: babble, gastronomical adventures

The weather’s pretty humid but I am shivering
I also have been sneezing throughout the day.
I hope I am not gonna be sick.
There were a couple of sick people at work who might have passed the flu bug on to me. Hmm.

I made Mee Bandung for the first time tonight. *bangga*
Hehe.
Well, I actually used a packet of ready made spices mum in-law bought for me. I just had to make sure I had the right amount of water (a part that needs skill according to Mr Sunshine, hehe) and put in all the other necessary ingredients such as eggs, prawns, vegetable, meat etc etc.
But Mr Sunshine has put his seal of approval on my, ahem, masterpiece and even told me to buy more packets of the ready made spices to make for visitors who come over to our place.
😀
Mum in-law also bought me a packet of ready made spices for Mee Rebus. That will be our berbuka menu this Friday, InshaAllah. 🙂

Work was tiring today. Yeah I had to work while most of you got to enjoy your day off. Hehe.
The male ward was full with patients today, so I took quite a long time to screen all their prescriptions. Not to mention there was a medical officer who got on my nerves which made things a bit tensed.
I took a long nap when I got back and woke up just in time to cook.

I am having cake cravings now, thanks to Superheroes & Mom for posting a photo of a delicious looking Red Velvet Cake.

to doctor (insert name here).

categories: emo, work

You’re a doctor. You’re responsible for every prescription you write, every drug you prescribe and every patient under your care. But you choose to be ignorant, and when asked whether is there a reason why a particular drug was prescribed not according to standard guidelines (you do realize it’s my job to intervene to make sure a patient receives appropriate treatment, do you ?), you lash out angrily and tell people to fix the situation out themselves ! This is the third time you’ve ever done such a thing, and your rude attitude is nauseating. All the other doctors and even the specialists I have been dealing with all this while have been very well mannered. I wonder what use were all those years of studying and two years (yes, you’re just an MO, I believe you need a reality check) of working you went through.

P.S: This is referring to one particular medical officer, not the whole community, thanks.

hello sweet tooth.

categories: gastronomical adventures, work

I need a distraction.
I need to avoid thinking about what’s in store for me (and everyone else) at work next month, in other words, next Wednesday.

Mr Sunshine bought a pack of pineapple tarts a few days ago. It’s gone now, thanks to my insatiable sugar cravings.
You know how normally people look for rendang, ketupat, lemang etc during Aidilfitri ?
I, on the other hand, actually look forward to all the yummy sweet Raya cookies !
So friends, you don’t have to work up a sweat in the kitchen if I tell you I am dropping by, just get your cookie jars ready for me. Hehe. 🙂
I received the cookies I ordered from one of the hospital staffs yesterday, and I’m gonna be needing loads of willpower to resist gobbling up all of ’em before Aidilfitri.
But it seems sooooo impossible ! Help !

My tummy’s still burning from the extra spicy sambal tumis I had last night.
But it was delicious, and I am happily gonna take all the credit for preparing it. Hehe.

Here’s to a good week ahead, everyone ! 🙂
And HAPPY MERDEKA DAY !

xoxo
